I am trying to remove the timing case on my '86 R80g/s.
I have removed the 9 bolts and all the electrical gear as per the Clymer manual.
The problem is the bloody thing is feckin' tight!
I hace tried heating the area around the crankshaft, and by hitting the case at the top with a soft mallet it will rotate axially a very small amount.
There are 3 other bolt heads of a larger size which seem to run through the case, but not used to attach it. I presume these a for the tensioner?
The engine is still in the frame.
Any advice appreciated.
Damien.
